Summary

Quarterback Rank: #2All Players: #22

Brees had another big season as the starter for the Saints. He topped 40 total touchdowns and had more than 5,000-passing yards. Brees had multiple touchdowns all but three games and six games with three-plus scores. He had big passing games much of the season, throwing for more than 300 yards 11 of 16 games. Brees has six straight seasons with 33 or more touchdowns. He also has 5,000 yards four of six seasons. He is a model of consistency in the Saints' offense. And at age 35, he still looks like he has good years left in the tank. He knows the offense inside and has a great rapport with his receivers. Brees is extremely accurate, makes great decisions, and spreads the wealth to a host of talented options in the offense. The Saints try to have a balanced offense, but remain pass-first with Brees at the helm. He makes the offense tick for the Saints.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Brees should be one of the first three quarterbacks off your board come draft day. He is a model of consistency for fantasy teams. You can pretty much pencil him in for 5,000 yards and 40 touchdowns. He is a consistent factor from week to week, which is another huge plus. He gets his weekly chances to air it out in this offense. We don't see him slowing down at this point of his career.
